I am a newlywed on a budget, just trying to make healthy and inexpensive meals for my husband and I to enjoy. He eats a lot, so cost is a big factor. Though I work 3 jobs, I manage to find time 6 nights a week to cook a full dinner for us both. I am constantly looking for new recipes that are moderately healthy, taste great, and won't break the bank.

On the side, I also own a brownie business called Gersheybars. My passion and love for cooking started when I was just a small child, baking with my mom and grandmother. The brownie recipe has been passed down through 5 generations and I am thrilled to finally have an outlet to share them with everybody else. Friends and family have helped spread the word and made my business as successful as it is today.

Pasta with Kale & Peppers

Love love love kale. Really, I think it's one of the most underused vegetables out there! It's so tasty, and full of vitamins. More people need to realize just how delicious it can be! I bought a bunch of kale last week to use in a specific recipe, and we ended up with quite a bit leftover. So I found this recipe on Allrecipes, and decided to give it a shot. I added some canned, sliced black olives, and it was really good! Tons of flavor, super easy, especially when you use a bag of frozen mixed peppers instead of having to chop fresh ones. I added some fresh basil from our herb garden, and a little drizzle of garlic oil. Yum.
